What You Need

pkg. (9 oz.) FAMOUS Chocolate Wafers, finely crushed

Tbsp. margarine or butter, melted

pkg. (8 oz. each) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

cup sugar

1-1/2

tsp. vanilla

eggs

oz. BAKER'S Semi-Sweet Chocolate, melted

tsp. grated orange zest

Make It

PREHEAT oven to 300°F if using a silver 9-inch springform pan (or to 275°F if using a dark nonstick 9-inch springform pan). Mix wafer crumbs and margarine. Remove 1/2 cup of the crumb mixture; set aside. Press remaining crumb mixture firmly onto bottom and 1-1/2 inches up side of pan. Refrigerate while preparing filling.

BEAT cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in large bowl with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add eggs, 1 at a time, mixing on low speed after each addition just until blended. Remove 1 cup of the batter; place in medium bowl. Add chocolate and the reserved crumb mixture; mix well. Set aside. Stir orange zest into remaining batter; pour into prepared crust. Top with spoonfuls of the chocolate batter. Cut through batter with knife several times for marble effect.

BAKE 50 min. to 1 hour or until center is almost set. Run knife or metal spatula around rim of pan to loosen cake; cool before removing rim of pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Store leftover cheesecake in refrigerator.

I usually do this for chritsmass, but it is wonderful for any celebration, try putting a little less sugar than one cup, and add more little by little until it's good for you, because I think that one whole cup of sugar makes it too sweet

Delicious! Very delicious! Next time I make it, I probably wouldn't put any of the orange peel on the inside, but would instead put a teaspoon of orange juice concentrate. It just added a weird texture that people weren't sure about. I will definately make this again.

I actually use this recipe to make a white chocolate cheesecake. I use the ingredients, but instead of adding the orange, I use white chocolate! It always comes out fabulous and everyone loves it!

Thought this was just so-so. The chocolate wafers are practically impossible to find. The orange flavor was too overpowering. Would not make it again.

For the work involved it didn't have enough orange for me. It was a good CHOCOLATE cheesecake but if your looking for that great chocolate-orange combo this is not it.
